For anyone in a hurry - this is a sure thing! We absolutely loved this easy recipe. I cooked it the recommended time, drained the juices (but kept them) shredded the pork, put it back in the crock pot, added the barbecue sauce and cooked for another 3/4 hr. And, by the way - the juices (or the cooked root beer that I saved) was incredible to taste once it was cooked and I reheated on the stove with a little cornstarch - or flour to thicken up and we dipped our sandwiches in it. To die for!
